- . TOP SECRET DIRECTOR'S LOG ATEOF DATE 8:30 AM,15 Sept.- 8:30 AM,17 Sept. CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION A penetration of the Greek Communist Party yields evidence that "a new surprise" along the lines of the Greek Communist murder of CBS cor- respondent George Polk in 1948 is being organized. No further details are available. OSO is making every effort to establish the authenticity of the penetration. U. S.-British-Greek discussions of stay-behind operations have been suspended owing to Greek General Staff insistence on locating the main com- munications base iri Greece, directly contrary to sound stay-behind doctrine. The currently unstable political situation in Greece makes immediate resolu- tion of this problem impossible. Pakistan Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan has told. U. S. Ambassador Warren that he wants intelligence liaison confined to contact between his Director of Intelligence and the OSO State-cover representative, with disagreements to be resolved by himself and the Ambassador. The. Ambassador will so advise the DCI. The Director of Pakistan Intelligence also contemplates eventual assignment of an intelligence officer to Washington for liaison with CIA, a move which:OSO will discourage. A member of a dissident group of French Communists has approached an officer of OSO Paris to request financial aid for the group. The Paris Station, in requesting joint OSO/OPC consideration of the matter, emphasizes that Mr. Irving Brown must play no part in the operation. General Effisio Marras, Italian Chief of Staff for Defense, now en route to Ottawa for NATO talks, will be in Washington 22-25!September and hopes to meet with the DCI. He may seek a CIA invitation to Geri. Umberto Broccoli, Chief of the Italian Combined Intelligence Services, to visit the US since the latter has been a guest of French and British Intelligence. Captain Guy M. Liddell, Deputy Director of the British Security Service will be available for discussion with CIA officials during a visit to Washington 17-19 September. (CONTINUED) Copy # of 5.
